This is the Bitty, a pocket drum machine by Curious Sound Objects. I love the sounds it makes and the feeling of the buttons, but this thing doesn’t sit flat on a table. So, I made a 3D printed enclosure for the device and dressed up the knobs by encasing them in felt so they are soft and squishy. I also caught up with Bitty’s creator Nick Chelyapov to learn more about the design of the device. 3D model in Tinkercad
